IPNHK 24
28 / Sep，2024

2024 IPNHK (International Poetry Night In Hong Kong), founded by contemporary poet Bei Dao, will be inaugurated on 28 September at the Tai Kwun JC Cube. With the theme of ‘The Margins of The Mother Tongue’, the festival aims to stimulate cross-cultural responses to poetry and sound art, and will run until 1 October.

The main visual of the event was designed by 2M2 DESIGN team, the ripple elements are based on the creative adaptation of Mr Bei Dao’s paintings. Based on the concept of ‘Mother Tongue Map’, the names of the poets are arranged in the poetic currents, which is a metaphor for the cultural pulse of the mother tongue world. 2M2 DESIGN Director, Mr Wang Lingyuan, was invited to attend the event dinner as an art consultant.

Atelier 2M2

Atelier 2M2 is essentially a “skeptic.” In their context, the “self” has also become the “other,” an “object” that needs to be calmly “observed.” At the same time, in order to verify the uncertain cognition of the “realistic utopia,” they created a series of objects of justification with different personalities and positions (in commissioned projects or independent creations). The objective (non-subjective) justification of these objects further intensifies their skeptical stance.

People

Michael Wang, co-founder of Atelier 2M2, founder of malt online aesthetic platform, member of N2 Multimedia Art Group, graphic designer, artist. Michael Wang is an artist who walks between reality and abstraction: in reality, he is rational and orderly, focusing on the essence of the subject and following the rules to discover the eternal essence of things. In the abstract carrier (thought), he calmly observes the world, imagines and criticizes.
